Hello!
So, I've finally bought a project car and where better to start than my dream car, an E30!
Lots of plans for this car, hoping to do most of the work myself and learn as I go (not touching the welding or paint tho 😂), but planning to do the rest myself. The car is currently a 318Lux auto, it's a state, but it was a bargin so I couldn't say no 😂

Phwa! Always pleased when people see these as projects and not piles of scrap! What are your plans?

All I can see of the rest of it looks in OK condition too. The patches of surface rust will be irrelevant once the restoration is underway.
The more important question is does it come with all the missing bits? Things start to get difficult and expensive when you have to source loads of little and not so little bits.
